Das Mag operates as an independent, private company and sells directly through its website as well as through bookshops. Its catalogue spans fiction, non-fiction and poetry, and it offers subscription models such as the Das Mag Debutenabo (debut subscription) and an e-book subscription. The publisher also sells merchandise including sweaters and art prints, and organises events. Its online store lists titles by authors such as Abel van Gijlswijk, Ruth van Beek & Sarah Arnolds, Thijs Bol, Giselinde Kuipers, Pete Wu, Paul Verhagen, Marek Sindelka, Fabienne Rachmadiev, Ágota Kristóf, Valeria Luiselli, Maud Vanhauwaert, Maarten Inghels, Ibe Rossel, Gershwin Bonevacia, Rob van Essen, Derek Jarman, Olga Ravn, Marjolijn van Heemstra, Thijs Hoekstra, Coen van de Ven, Malu de Bont and Thomas Heerma van Voss. The house is known for a curated, literary profile and for building a community of readers and supporters through crowdfunding and subscriptions.
